Yeah..........I really liked it because it was a very real moment between two musicians. The song isn't quite complete but the passion is there and you can feel it. Moments like that are what really make me love music.

I like the Joss and Jeff video too..........of course I like anything Joss does. She is a very underated talent in my opinion.

"Athletes express themselves physically, this is their art. As an athlete, exhausting oneself on the field or or on the track or on the trail or on the mountain brings calm and satisfaction. Thrashing about… our expression." - Steve Gleason

Don't know if anyone has seen or posted on this yet, but this is a cool local project at Daily Camera. 2nd Story Garage. A buddy of mine is the sound geek that puts it all together. Some cool acts showcased in a raw recording environment. Worth a peak (sorry, couldn't resist low hanging pun fruit)

OK, I admit this is "out there" if you've never heard Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Lady. Or even if you have.

But hopefully, a few will be riveted to the seat as I was when I first heard this performance tonight.

Toots Thielmans is generally regarded as the world's greatest jazz harp player (you can see why) and ... what can I say about Jaco? The world lost an incredible talent when Jaco left us far too early in his career.

Anyway... hope you enjoy it.

PS - incredible musical connection between the two during this performance, well-captured by the videographer.

Still one of my huge favorites... an incredible bolero of massive proportion, southwestern US elements, Spanish influence, Italian composition, timeless.I hear it whenever slogging solo along a barren, snow-covered alpine plain in winter, peaks in the distance, sun setting, making way for the car, many miles below... the ecstasy of the alpine gold we seek.

Isn't it interesting how Sergio Leone has chosen to put the elements of vast riches, desire, adventure, and the symbolism of death into one scene, all tied together by Ennio Moricone's classic, The Ecstasy of Gold. How appropos to our passion as mountaineers...

Beautiful emptiness surrounds me. I take small steps. I'm making progress in a non-specific way.Here I am king. I decide everything. I let no-one in. No-one.Limited consciousness preserves me. It protects me. And just connects enough to keep the walls at bay.My little universe is expanding slowly and those who know me say I’m growing every day.Here I am king. I decide everything. I let no-one in. No-one

“It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”
